Some years ago, Mike Mrowka appeared on Simply Quilts to demonstrate what he called "Fast Food Shibori" in which he wrapped, twisted and scrunched the fabric on PVC pipes. They had large buckets at Lunn Studios and would dye a bunch of poles at once. He said he was far too busy with production to worry about string. His fabric was always wet with SA when wrapping.<br />It apparently works well since they sold a ton of shibori fabrics.CrystalDyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301550084237859418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-57828315222772373192013-07-22T23:08:08.606-04:002013-07-22T23:08:08.606-04:00I soak in soda ash after wrapping and stringing. ...I soak in soda ash after wrapping and stringing. I normally keep a 5gal bucket of soda ash water so it is easy to dunk it in. Or you could just put in a smaller bucket and scoop and pour the soda ash over. <br /><br />To make it easier to wrap the pole I made a jig with inline skate wheels and wood. I need to do a 2nd version and will post instructions then.Kim Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436222011109197761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-7025074727491709622013-07-22T08:10:24.878-04:002013-07-22T08:10:24.878-04:00I like the idea of not having to wrap with string!...I like the idea of not having to wrap with string! That has always been a drawback for me... nice to know it can be eliminated! And I love your results. Do you have problems with part of the fabric not getting enough dye? I hope you talk about how much dye you apply and your methods...
